Tea party'n all day!

Another wonderful Sunday with miss Payton and mister Brayden. Payton was in the best mood and she really is growing closer to Brayden. Loving the bath time with those two and he helps keep her occupied while I wash her hair and she keeps him occupied while really it can be kind of cold in the seat he sits in. They are sure cute together. I picture Brayden growing up to be this sweet handsome man and for the most part it will be because of his older sister. They stayed with Nonnie and P on Saturday while I dress shopped with aunt Natalie, we got the flower girl dresses and OMG cannot wait to see her in it. Hoping she will walk down the isle and not run or talk to the peeps in the chairs, lololol. Yesterday we played tea party, we don't play as well as Pa and Payton play together, but we get close. She sat Dede down ( her huge doll that looks a lot like Jayce- thats what Anthony calls her) and she fed Dede, creme, sugar, tea, cookies- you name it. We played and played, of course every time I would pick something up for myself, she would say "mine"- trying to teach her to share. Brayden and Daddy eventually made in in there, half time of New England vs Colts- 2010 superbowl (New England won :( ), and we all played tea party. So fun and couldn't stop laughing. I wonder when Payton will get old enough to say "stop laughing at me" because that is pretty much all we do with her- she is such a ham. We are using time out and it has become a game I think. She sits in time out and sticks her nose in the corner for maybe 5 seconds- then she turns around with her crinkled up nose and holds her hands out and says "momma" or "dada" and it melts your heart. We are getting better with it though. Thursday I may pancakes and she was banging on the oven door, annoyed I told her to stop and give me a few minutes to make her pancakes- she then raced over to her table and chairs and pushed her chair up against the oven door to get up there and watch me make pancakes. Anyway, I thought that was pretty smart. She has a step stool, but she knew she could use that chair instead. Another thing that surprised me (and I am not sure why I under estimate her, because she is super smart) I was playing with bubba's truck that you push down and when you let go it races across the floor- well it wasn't working well on the carpet and miss thing went over and put it on the ceremic instead. Its like she knew the carpet is holding her up so she took it over to the kitchen floor, anyway- might sound silly to some people, but I thought it was pretty smart.

Brayden is getting so big, he is such a cutie pie. He sat in his bouncer while I attempted getting our taxes done and just giggled and talked. He would pop his body (he is so strong) in and out and I would have to push him back up or he was eventually going to slide on out of there. Anthony and Payton ended up in our bed, fast asleep and how cute it was. She is really in that phase of crying and throwing a fit when she goes to bed at night, so we are pretty much letting her fall asleep with us and then putting her in her bed. She is so great at nap time, but night time forget it! Brayden took his time going to bed, but made fell asleep on my sholder while I rocked him in his room around 10:30pm and was still sleeping hard at 6:45 this morning when I left for work. How we were blessed with great babies, I am not sure- but they both are wonderful. For the most part well mannered- Payton is doing great sitting at her table until her food is all gone and she is signing "thank you" and "please" very well. She also has learned to sign sorry without asking. She is awnry and will try to hit bubba and I will look at her and she will sign sorry- she knows what my looks mean, lol. She still runs around with a baby wipe or dryer sheet and pretends she is cleaning, man does she love to do that, lol. She cleans bubbas feet and ears in the bath too. He just laughs at her all the time. He is constantly looking for her. His little legs are getting so fat and chunky, I just want to eat them. Again great weekend and love my babies dearly!

Snowing again- third time this winter. Thinking it is a record for Oklahoma. Love the snow and happy Payton gets to play in it but ready for it to be over too. Makes it dangerous to get my babies around and most of the time we pack up and go to Nonnie's incase our electric goes out. Not that Payton wouldn't mind that at all, but mommy doesn't get much sleep that way.
